Work of aIas.,zino Editing.


To begin with the vehicle of pl1biica-
ton. the common idea that articles ard
stories which appear in monthly maya
zines, weekly or daily papers, are neces-
Sarily fresh from the authors pen, is en-
tirely erroneous. Each magazine or
journal knows its own space require
ments, possibilities and limitations, and
manuscript is engaged or purchased to fill
its own place according to the editor S
and publishers idea of what is fitting for
the moment or season. Nearly all the
first class magazines pay on acceptance;
but many of them hold matter thus pur-
chased for months and even one or two
years, awaiting a fit time, or it may be
even tine space for such matter to be used.
The amount of ingenuity, planning, de-
liberation, and above all things the tact,
required by magazine editor who does
his work well can never be understood by
the outside public, and few writers even,
who llarass tLeir editors with importuni-
ties, Suggestions and endless inquiries,
have the lest idea of the amount of
brain and capital he is expending daily
in his work; that. to he popular. a maya
zine must meet not only the demand of
the reading public but thousand. It
has its business and its literary side. its
poetry and its prose, in more meanings
than one, and the casual purchaser of
one of these monthly periodicals has not
the least conception of the l2lor and
though in providing him with pages
which may suit or please his fancy in one
way, if not in another.-Mrs. Lille in
New York Star.

LIE PoIsoN OF MALARIA.
7hs Researehes OF rommasi-crndeIi and
-. -. g

7hs Researches Of Tommasi-CrudeII and
otI,ers-on the Roman Campasna.
When we talk Of the Roman climate
u e can not tlfsassoeiate the theme from its
DISTINCTIVE cilaracteristic- the r1alarfal
poison. What Is this roison2 Til the re-
Searches Of Tonanlasi- CI1ldeh and Kiebs,
published in 1879, the most plausible
answer was that of DIR. Leon Colin. who
defines it as an s'into3ication telluriquc, -
an earth poison generated by the surplus
vegetatiye energy of an abnorInaIly fer
tile soil, whose fecundity was very par
tally absorbed by the scanty sprinkIing
of heritage that oyerspread its surface.
Cultivate this soil, render to this vegeta-
tive energy its appropriate pabulum, and
you provide the antidote to malaria.
Such, stated with extreme brevity, was
the theory of Leon Colin, embodied m a
work of great ability, which, appearing
as it did, at the outbreak of the Franco
German war, encountered a public too
preoccupied to give it the study it de-
served. *
Tomnasi- Cruder combats this Theory.
He denies that the Roman CanlpagDa
possesses anything 1ilzc the exnberant fc-
crlndity witlShich it has been credited.
Its really fertile tracts are few and far
between, rarely compromising the agri-
cultllrist for his labor-as, indeed, was
well known TO ancient husbandmen.
Then, again, if the poison were gaseous,
as Leon Collins theory implies, the NAL
aria surcharged atmosphere ought to be
at its maximum at MONDAY, when the
exllaiation from the soil il greatest; but,
on the contrary, the localities IN which
malaria is most pronounced reach thor
maximum Of danger in the morning and
evening these periods of the day when
| the difference Of temperature between
earth and atmosphere renders the ascend
ing aerial currents most powerful and
most apt to transport the material of the
poison. That material, according to
Tommasi- Crudei, is "a living fcrment.
encountered equally ON the mountain and
plain, in dry soils and in humid. Its ex-
istence was suspected and unscientfically
described as long ago as the decline of
tho Roman republic by the agriculturist
Narro, and its nature and form are de-
fined by Tommasi- Crudeli as a ..Schizo-
metes bacillaris.
For its Development it requires tenn
perature not lower than twenty degrees
G. "a moderate degree of humidity and
the immediate contact of the atmosphere
with the soil it infects. AS the absence of
a single one of these conditions prevents
the development of the malaria, so GER
tain localities exhibit at times a natural
Suspension of Tho poison. In winter, for
example, the fall of the temperature be-
low tho required twenty degrees causes a
therinic suspension: the loss of the neces-
sary humidity under prolonged drought
causes hydraulic suspension; and the
interposition of Gheets of water or of a
thick mating Of turf on. the lying down
of a pavement, by preventing the imne-
diate contact OF the atmosphere with the
Injected soil, produces an atmospheric
suspension of the malaria London Ian

But the easiest method of salt produc-

Louisiana. There is an immense BODY of
pure rock salt that is mined lust like iron
or coal. The miners run drifts and

and tslrrcled ready for market.

Perhaps there is not the renlotest cor
1er or little inlet of the minute blood
vessels of the body that does not feel
some wavelet from the great convulsion
produced by hearty laughter shaking the
central man. The blood moves more
lively; probably its chemical, electric or
yital conditions are distinctly modified.
1t conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body, as it visits them
on that particular mystic journey, when
the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. And thus it is that a
good laugh. lengthens mans life by
conveying distinct and additional slim
illus to the vital forces. = Scientific

President Arthur's First Proclamation.
81 will tell you a curious story about
President Arthur. :" said gentleman who
had long been intimate with him in con
versatfon with New York Sun reporter.
THAT illustrates his extraordinary eau
ton. After Garfield was shot, YOU
know, there was no one to act as vice
president, rs the senate had adjourned
without electilg a president pro tenn.
When Garfield finally died and Arthur
was sworn in by Judge Bradley at mid
night the first thing he did was to pre-
pare proclamation calling the senate to-
gether at once, and that same night, be-
fore he went to bed, he signed and sealed
it and sent it by mail, addressed to HIM
self at Washington. That was to pro
vide for any emergency that might hap
pen. If he had been assassinated. which
would not have been strange, or had been
killed by accident ON his way 10 WASH
mSton, the clerks at the White House
would have opened the mail and would
have found in proper form a document
that would have prevented confusion. for
IN the event of Arthur's death there
would have been no one with authority
TO summon congress. - Chicago Herald.

A Road of SInsa.

By and by we reached the obsidian
cliffs-a bluff from $50 to $50 feet in
height and 1 ZOO feet in length. AS It
was necessary to build a carriageway
under this cliff, and indeed 1 may say
across it, Col. Norris accomplished It by
building huge fires upon the larger
masses and them dashing cold water upon
the heated surface, which being suddenly
cooled were shattered into fragments
that were easily moved, and thus the
roadbed IS composed of broken ohsidian.

The Negro and His Coon Dog.

When Judge Kelly spoke at Admission
he said among other good things that
Alabama would be better off if she had a
rheep for every dog she now has. The
Judge evidently doesn't know the dar-
keys love for his coon dog. whether we
ever have any sheep or not the sports
man wants his setter and pointer. The
darIey is not classed as a sportsman, but
he loves 'possum dog too well to give
him up except at the command of the
law. And wan poverty would have to
sit mighty close to negro's hearth to
make him vote for any candidate for the
legislature who favors dog law.-Bir-
